PATTERN DETAILS

The Alex Pillow
This listing is for PDF pattern instructions to make this fabulous and unique pillow to enhance your home decor. When I had a client who wanted a volleyball pillow for her daughter's room I could not find any patterns or instructions so I developed one. Here it is!
This pillow is approximately the size of a regulation volleyball/water polo ball- about 9" in diameter. The detailed instructions will allow you to make a 3 color traditional style volleyball or water polo ball. You can also make solid sections or use a striped fabric for a similar effect.
I would not recommend this as a first sewing project, but the average crafty sewer will be able to make this lovely pillow. This is a great project to make with a child/teen learning to sew! Fun to make and donate to a team fundraiser or auction.
